According to Dr. Shane Fairlie, a specialist from WHO Vietnam, the pandemic is not likely to be fully under control before 2023 as evidenced by the emergence of new highly-infectious variants. Therefore, Vietnam must continue observing COVID-19 preventive rules in the new normal, he said, adding that vaccination and implementing virus control measures remain the most important and necessary solutions.
